Levi's POV

I decided to take up on Hanji's offer at lunch. For the first time, I felt my heart pounding when I thought of her. Whenever I thought of her... I felt... happier. I almost had her in my grasp, and I would forever have her. Was it normal for sweat to drip as I watched the clock hands tick? Was it normal that I begged for time to speed up? Was it normal I wanted to be near her once the clock strikes for lunch? To me, it was normal. I was shrouded in darkness... and I was further away from my only light through it all.

Ring!

The bell rang I was one of the first to leave their seat. I don't know where she would be sitting in the cafeteria... so I would just wing it. As quickly as I could, I raced to the cafeteria. At the entrance, my eyes began to scan the area. I tried to look for that chocolate-like hair and her arms full of her school supplies.

My eyes began to lit up as I saw her standing in the corner. But... she wasn't alone. There was some taller guy. Blonde hair, and he leaned down to give Hanji a kiss. I thought that she would fight back- to reject him. But she accepted him. She accepted that kiss. 

I felt the world was turning against me... and I felt the man was trying to make me suffer. To make me suffer more. Hanji was my light, my hope, my missing piece. Now... she's being entrapped by something. I could never be whole again. I just... wanted to be whole. To fill my missing piece in myself. I just... want to be complete...

When I slowly approached them, I felt everything blur together and making a world abstracted. All my focus was on Hanji- my dying light of hope. "See you later in English, Hanji." The man spoke, caressing my love's cheek. 

She chuckles softly, "I'll see you later too, Erwin..." Erwin... that's who he was. Stealing Hanji away from me without my permission. How dare he. Hanji's tone shifted when she saw me. "Ah, you. You actually came."

"Y-You're the first person to ask me to be here with you... why wouldn't I come?" I looked away from her beautiful eyes... and I couldn't bear to see them. Why should I see them? "W-Who was that guy?"

"Oh, him? That's Erwin, my boyfriend. Don't worry, I asked him to leave me alone this lunch period. So... sit down and let's talk... erm... what's your name?"

"Levi."

She chuckles softly as I sat down across from her. "Levi... that's an unique name. Nice to meet you, Levi." I felt my cheeks burn whenever she was talking about me. But she was already taken from me. Taken because that bastard took her away from me. I wouldn't allow it... I want my light back. "So... um... I've seen you as a loner lately... why's that?"

"I'm not normal."

"There's no such thing as normal, Levi. I'm not normal as well." She chuckles, leaning forward. "I'm some sort of girl that's tomboy-ish. I also have a high IQ and has a knack for science and stuff like that. I'm not a normal girl that you see around."

Continuing to stutter, I couldn't help myself. "B-But you are normal... n-normal more than me."

"No one is ever completely normal." She chuckles softly, "You are normal."

My cheeks, they were completely warm. My heart continued to beat loudly and it began to echo in my head. I felt that I needed my light. "I-I am?"

"Yes... you are normal. Don't let anyone say otherwise. Understand, Levi?"

I nodded, blushing softly at her. I want her... I want my life... I want my light... I want her... why can't I have her?

After lunch, all the light disappeared- but only surrounding Hanji. If I ever wanted my light to be to mines and only mines, I would have to get rid of the obstacle. That... is her boyfriend. I bet he doesn't even care for her- not like I do. I love her, I want her... unlike him. He's nothing to her. Nothing. I want him gone. I want... him gone... I... want... him... gone...
